ANONYM 4 Poem by Shuntaro Tanikawa

ANONYM 4



The afternoon sun casts its light
on the corpse of a cat that was just run over
Its soul could have chosen to stay with him for life
if it wanted to

But it passes on in an instant
silently
leaving so much behind

No matter how small a thing is
it cannot be fully elaborated
Silence contains
just words

The edges of clouds shine in gold
Music
seduces me
